Proverbs 5:8-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
8
Keep your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
9
Otherwise you will give your vigor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;
10
And strangers will be filled with your strength,
And your hard-earned possessions
will go
to the house of a foreigner;
11
And you will groan in the end,
When your flesh and your body are consumed;
12
And you say, 'How I hated instruction!
And my heart disdainfully rejected rebuke!
13
I did not listen to the voice of my teachers,
Nor incline my ear to my instructors!
King James Version
Chapter 5
8
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
8
Keep your way far from her.
Don’t go near the door of her house.
9
Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to others
and your years to someone cruel;
10
strangers will drain your resources,
and your hard-earned pay will end up in a foreigner’s house.
11
At the end of your life, you will lament
when your physical body has been consumed,
12
and you will say, "How I hated discipline,
and how my heart despised correction.
13
I didn’t obey my teachers
or listen closely to my instructors.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
8
Stay away from her!
Don’t go near the door of her house!
9
If you do, you will lose your honor
and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.
10
Strangers will consume your wealth,
and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
11
In the end you will groan in anguish
when disease consumes your body.
12
You will say, 'How I hated discipline!
If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
13
Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?
Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
8
Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,
9
lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10
lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,
11
and at the end of your life you groan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12
and you say, "How I hated discipline,
and my heart despised reproof!
13
I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
New International Version
Chapter 5
8
Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house,
9
lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity to one who is cruel,
10
lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.
11
At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12
You will say, "How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!
13
I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
8
Remove your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
9
Lest you give your honor to others,
And your years to the cruel
one;
10
Lest aliens be filled with your wealth,
And your labors
go
to the house of a foreigner;
11
And you mourn at last,
When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12
And say:
“How I have hated instruction,
And my heart despised correction!
13
I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
